March 1, 2004At the cottage, Luis shows up to see Sheridan. Sheridan invites him
in and can tell something is bothering him. Luis says coming here to ask
this is hard for him, hes never asked anyone for anything. Luis
explains the problems his family is having, problems which stem from
Rebecca. He says Rebecca has had Pilar, Miguel and Theresa fired as
payback for Theresa costing Gwen her child. Sheridan says shell talk
to Julian about his, but Luis says Rebecca probably has coerced Julian
into letting her do this. Sheridan soon finds out that Luis has also
been suspended, and she demands to know why. Luis explains he was
suspended for trying to rescue her from the psych ward. He says he fired
a gun in the psych ward, he shot the lock off the door to get to her.
Sheridan realizes Luis lost his job because of her. Luis says he is not
sorry about what he did, but if he doesnt come up with money to pay
off the lean on their house, his family will be out on the streets.
Sheridan thinks the bank served them with an eviction notice, but Luis
says it was the Cranes. Sheridan feels horrible and she tells Luis that
Pilar is like a second mother to her. She says she will give him the
money no matter what he says. Sheridan tells him that shell go to the
bank and shell take care of everything. Luis swears he will pay her
back. She tells him to sit here and make himself comfortable.

Back at the Lopez-Fitzgerald house, Pilar says she hopes Luis will be
able to convince Sheridan to help them. Ethan says he is truly sorry
about this, and he has always loved her like a second mother. Ethan has
to head back to the mansion. Theresa knows this is Rebeccas doing,
and she says she will never forgive Rebecca for this. Ethan leaves, and
Pilar fears losing her home. Theresa says they have to have faith that
Julian or Ethan will stand up to Rebecca. Pilar says she has heard
Julian has changed, but why would she think Ethan would help? Pilar asks
Theresa if she is still holding onto hope for her and Ethan? Theresa
says she is over Ethan, he is with Gwen now and doesnt care what
happens to her. Theresa launches into a rant about how Ethan helped
Rebecca take her son from her, and she will never forgive him for that.
Pilar says her life has been intertwined with the Cranes since Ivy
married Julian 20 years ago. Pilar begins to remember all the pain
brought on her family by the Cranes. Pilar says she knows Julian or
Alistair had something to do with MArtin's disappearance, then there is
the trouble Luis and Sheridan have had, and finally Theresa's problems
with the supposed heir Ethan. She ends up damning all the Cranes to
hell. Theresa says not Sheridan, Sheridan is wonderful. Pilar says no
not Sheridan, but even she has problems. She says as much as she loves
Sheridan, she wishes she had never met Antonio and Luis. She says
look at what she has brought to them . . .Antonio almost died in a car
crash and Luis is devastated that he has lost Sheridan.

Outside somewhere, Ethan meets up with Woody Stumper to ask what
progress he has made in Theresas case. Woody hasnt made much
progress at all because he can't prove that the child would be better
off elsewhere. Ethan gives Woody some gossip. He says Theresa thinks she
heard Rebecca abusing Little Ethan, and he tells Woody to go see if any
of the servants have heard anything that could help Theresa. Ethan gives
Woody an envelope of cash to use to loosen the servants lips. Woody
agrees, and asks if they are still keeping this a secret? Ethan says
they are.

At the mansion, Rebecca and Gwen continue to plan to adopt Little Ethan.
Gwen says she cant wait for him to start calling her mommy. Rebecca
says she cant wait till Theresa hears him say it! Fox walks in and
asks what they are celebrating? Rebecca says Ethan and Gwen are going to
adopt. Gwen is holding a picture of Little Ethan, and Fox asks if that
is the baby? He asks if he can see the picture? Rebecca says no because
they dont want to jinx it. He says okay, hell wait and be
surprised. Rebecca says he will be surprised.

Later, Ethan returns, and Fox tells Ethan that he just heard the news
that they are adopting. Ethan wasn't aware they were telling anyone yet,
but he says they are. Fox congratulates him, and he says hes going to
go check on Theresa. Ethan says that now may not be the best time. He
explains having to serve Theresa and her family eviction papers which
come straight from Rebecca. Fox wonders how someone as nice as Gwen
could have a snake like Rebecca as a mother.

Meanwhile, Gwen thanks her mother for taking away everything Theresa
holds dear. Gwen also thanks her for giving her a child and her husband
back. Ethan shows up and tells Rebecca that he did as she asked him to,
and she is glad. She asks how they took the news? Ethan says they were
understandably upset, but they wont go out without a fight. Ethan
also knows they happened to all lose their jobs in the same day. He asks
if there is nothing she wont do to get revenge on Theresa? Rebecca
says no there isnt, not after what she did to them. Rebecca excuses
herself to check on Little Ethan. Gwen sees Ethan has papers with him.
He says they are adoption papers, and all they have to do now is find
the perfect child. Rebecca, who has returned, learns about the adoption
papers, and all that is left for them to fill in the name of the child
and have a judge approve it. Rebecca tells Gwen that this is perfect,
everything is falling into place.

Woody goes to see Theresa at her place. Fox is now with Theresa and her
mother. Theresa tells Woody about Rebecca hitting Little Ethan, and she
says she can prove it. Woody asks if she has another witness? Theresa
says she does, and she says Fox lives there and must have heard
something. Unfortunately, Fox says he has never heard any of the things
Theresa has seen or heard. Woody says not to worry, he will use some
money to see if any of the Crane servants wish to talk. Theresa
wonders where he got all that money? Woody says he is a lawyer, and
lawyers have money!

At the Blue Note, Eve orders Whitney to get off that stage! Whitney says
she isnt going anywhere. Eve says she is not going to let her be a
lounge act, it is just the start down a road that leads to ruin and
nothing. Whitney says she is not leaving, and that her mom can never
again tell her what to do ever again! Whitney tells her mom that she has
some nerve lecturing her when shes cheating behind daddys back.
Whitney says all she is doing singing, she is not doing anything immoral
like she is! Eve says she is up there in front of all those people
leering at her. Whitney asks how singing in front of an audience is any
different than her playing tennis in front of an audience? Whitney asks
her mom what this issue she has with singing is? Eve says singing can
lead to drug use. Whitney says so can sports, but she managed to avoid
drugs while playing Tennis. She asks her mom why she wasnt worried
about her getting involved with drugs until now? Eve says look at what
happened to her in LA when she went off to sing. She says she might fall
into that awful subculture again. Chad says people who fall into drugs
are usually weak, but Whitney was raised right. Eve says that lifestyle
has the power to seduce anyone, and she demands Whitney to leave with
her. Whitney refuses, and they get into a huge shouting match. Whitney
tells her mom that she will never tell her what to do again, not after
what she has done. Eve tells Whitney that she doesnt know the whole
story. Whitney says she knows she is a lying, two-timing whore! Eve
slaps Whitney across the face! Eve quickly apologizes, and begs Whitney
to just come with her and talk, to give her a chance to explain. Whitney
tells Eve to leave because she isnt going to listen to anything she
has to say. Chad suggests she go for now. Eve cries that she loves her
so much and would never hurt her. Whitney says she has, so she should
get out and leave her alone. Eve leaves, and Julian ends up
comforting Eve. Eve thinks Whitney is going down the same path she was.
Julian tells Eve not to give up on Whitney, and not to let Liz use
Whitney to hurt her. Back at the Blue Note, Chad tries to talk to
Whitney about her mom. He tells Whitney not to act like Simone, give her
another chance. Liz swoops in and tells Whitney that Chad is right, she
should go to her mom and talk to her.

Tuesday

March 2, 2004Shorter due to my long day today

At the Lopez-Fitzgerald house, Fox is with Theresa and tries to tell
her that none of the servants will speak up against Rebecca or any of
the Cranes. Theresa says she has to have hope that one of them will do
the right thing. Later, Woody returns, and Theresa is served papers by a
processor. SHe gives them to Woody and asks what they say? Woody says
Rebecca has filed for custody of her son.

At the Crane Mansion, Rebecca catches Ethan on the phone asking Woody
to do whatever it takes to help Theresa. Rebecca is furious and says he
better not be helping THeresa, or else he will pay. Ethan says his phone
conversation is none of her business, and hasn't she hurt Theresa enough
as is? Rebecca says she hasn't. As they argue, Gwen returns with Little
Ethan. Gwen is very happy with the boy, and Little Ethan wants to play
with Ethan. Gwen asks to talk to Ethan, so he asks Rebecca to watch
Little Ethan. As Ethan and Gwen discuss adopting a child, Rebecca gives
Little Ethan chocolate to eat and allows him to watch the Exorcist.
Ethan is not pleased and tells Rebecca that she wanted this child, so
she needs to take care of him. Gwen asks her mom what she is doing, and
in private Rebecca tells her that she's going to make Ethan realize she
can't care for the boy, therefore he will have to adopt him!

In the park, Theresa and Fox take a walk, and Fox tries to comfort
Theresa. They see Rebecca, Ethan, Gwen and Little Ethan all playing, and
Theresa decides to go talk to them. Fox thinks this is not a good idea.

At the bank, Sheridan arrives to withdraw money from her account, but
is told her accounts have been frozen. She asks by whom? Alistair walks
in and says he froze them to protect her. He says she should not be
giving money to Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald. Sheridan is furious with her
father and says that is her money and she demands he give it to her.
Alistair refuses and says he's doing this to protect her. He says she is
vulnerable and Luis is taking advantage of her. Sheridan says Luis is
not taking advantage of her. She says he is a good and decent man, and
asking for this money was a hard thing for him to do. Alistair says she
is putting up a strong defense for Luis, one might think she had
feelings for him. Sheridan says this is about helping out Luis' family,
who have done nothing wrong. Alistair still refuses to give her the
money.

At the Book Cafe, Antonio is talking with Beth about how Luis
won't leave Sheridan alone. Antonio makes threats and says he might not
be able to stop himself from doing something he may regret if Luis
doesn't leave Sheridan alone. Beth ends up worried by ANtonio's words.
Antonio goes to leave and runs into Alistair. Alistair tells Antonio
that Luis is not leaving Sheridan alone. Antonio says he knows that.
Alistair tells Antonio that right now Luis is with Sheridan at the
cottage! Antonio leaves, and Alistair goes in and tells Beth that right
now Luis and Antonio are going to be having a showdown at the cottage.
Beth says one of them could kill the other. Alistair laughs and says
yes, but tells Beth that is not what he hopes will happen. Alistair says
he would like to see Luis happy with her.

At the cottage, Sheridan returns and gives Luis the bad news that
Alistair has frozen her accounts. He is not pleased, and she feels like
she has let him down. He says that is not the case, and they hold and
comfort one another. Suddenly, Antonio bursts in and is furious with
Luis. He tells him to get his hands off of her!

At the Blue Note, Whitney is convinced to talk to her mom, only to
find her in Julian's arms. She is furious with her mom and says she
can't believe she let Liz talk her into coming to try and work things
out with her. Eve is not pleased with Liz and thinks Liz would do
anything to hurt her. Whitney asks why would Liz do that, Liz actually
cares about her. Whitney then asks Liz to hire her to sing full time at
the Blue Note. Eve begs her not to do this, and she says singing here
can lead to drug use. Whitney says she is a strong person, she is alot
like her, she won't be tempted. Liz says Whitney is right, she is a
strong person. Whitney asks Liz once again to hire her, and Liz says she
would love to have her sing here. Eve has flashbacks of all her past
discretions, flips out, and tells Whitney she forbids her to sing here
ever! She then rips up the poster Liz has made with Whitney's picture on
it. Whitney tells her mom that she is an adult, she can't forbid her to
do anything. Whitney says she will sing whether her mother likes it or
not. Whitney leaves the club, and Chad follows. He asks her not to leave
things like this, try talking to her mom again. Whitney flat out
refuses. Meanwhile, Julian comforts Eve. Eve says she wishes she could
tell Whitney the truth, but if she does, she fears her lies will only
drive Whitney further away.

Wednesday

March 3, 2004Julian comforts Eve, and he encourages her to tell Whitney the
truth. Eve says she cant do that because Whitney already thinks she
is a hypocrite for pretending to be virtuous and good. Julian says she
is virtuous and good. Eve says her life is unraveling and there
doesnt seem to be anything she can do about it. Eve says they need to
focus on their son, they know he is alive and they need to find him.
Julian says he knows he promised her that theyd find her son by the
end of this year, and he says he intends to keep that promise. Eve says
it would be so much easier to explain her past to Whitney with him
there. When Eve begins talking about the past and regrets, Julian says
he hopes that there is something else that she doesnt regret about
the past. Eve says he doesnt regret them, and she tells Julian not to
blame himself for what happened then or now. She says in some ways she
thinks he is the best thing to happen to her. As they are about to kiss,
Julian gets a call from Rebecca asking where the hell he is and when he
is coming home. Julian says hes not going out tonight. Rebecca knows
he is with Eve, and she threatens to call TC and tell him everything if
he doesnt come home right now. Julian says fine he will be there. Eve
knows Rebecca threatened him., but he tells her not to worry about him.

At the Russells, Liz tells TC that Whitney will be singing at her
club tonight. TC says this is Chads fault, and that boy will ruin her
life. Liz says no this is not Chads fault, it is her fault for hiring
Whitney. She says her singer bailed and she needed a replacement. TC
says she knows how Eve feels about Whitney singing, is she trying to
destroy his family? Liz says says that when she explains why she hired
Whitney, he will understand everything that is going on with Whitney and
with Eve. Later, when Eve arrives home, TC confronts her and says Liz
told him, she told him everything. Eve looks at Liz and asks her what in
the hell has she done? TC says Liz only did the right thing. Eve asks TC
what Liz told him? He says Liz told him that she hired Whitney to sing
there. TC says Liz explained that Whitney was going to do what she
wanted to do whether they liked it or not, so they should go to the club
and support Whitney. Eve says no way, this business is not the life they
should want for their daughter. TC says they cant turn their back on
her, they should go down their and support Whitney. Eve continues to
refuse. TC asks what this is about, why doesnt she like the girls to
sing? TC says her hatred for music is totally irrational, so what
happened to make her hate music so much? Liz tells Eve she should tell
them why she is so dead set against Whitney singing in her club? Eve
says nothing happened to her it is just that drugs are so readily
available in those places. TC suggest she have faith that they raised
her right, and he says they should go down there and support her because
it is an event for the hospital. TC asks how it will look if she
doesnt show up for a hospital benefit, especially when her daughter
is performing. Eve says all she knows is her daughter is working in a
bar, and she didnt go to medical school to watch her daughter sing to
drunks. She says she is not going, she will not let Whitney ruin her
life. TC cant believe this. TC says hes going because at least one
of them will support their daughter. TC leaves to get ready, and Liz
gloats to Eve that she is going to lose everything because of her lies!

Julian returns to the mansion, and Rebecca says he needs to get dressed
because they have to go to the hospital benefit. Julian doesnt want
to, but agrees when Rebecca once again threatens to call TC. Julian and
Rebecca get dressed up, and Julian asks where this benefit is? When he
finds out it is at the Blue Note, he asks Rebecca is she is behind this?
She says she had nothing to do with it. Julian says he isnt going.
Rebecca asks why not, because Eve will be there with her husband? Julian
says Eve wont be there, and he isnt going. Rebecca says he will or
she will call TC. Julian says fine hell go. She says theyll have a
good time listening to Whitney sing, after all the hooker doesnt fall
far from the tree.

Chad and Whitney are at the recording studio when Fox and Theresa
show up. Theresa asks Whitney what is wrong, she seems upset. Whitney
says she caught her mom in Julians arms again. Whitney refuses to
rant about this anymore because she knows Theresa is suffering right now
because of Rebecca. Theresa begins to discuss her problems when Chad
eventually says he hates to break up this happy conversation, but
Whitney is opening tonight and they have work to do. Theresa says she
needs to go home and help her family pack anyways. Whitney asks Theresa
to give her mom her love. Theresa and Fox leave, and Whitney still
doesnt understand why her mom is doing this to her father. Later,
Chad and Whitney rehearse, and Whitney doesnt feel like singing an
upbeat song right now. She chooses a song about pain and hurt. The song
basically has Whitney singing that she wishes she could help someone
undo all the pain in their life. After she finishes, Chad says she is
amazing, and she cant believe she ignored her talent for so long.
Whitney says her mom is the one who never wanted her to sing. She says
her mother can no longer tell her what to do or not to do, not when she
is having an affair with Julian. Chad says she doesnt know that for
sure, and he offers to call Eve and ask her to come hear Whitney sing.
Whitney says no, she doesnt want her mom there. Chad says maybe if
her mom hears her sing then she will change her mind. Whitney says she
doesnt care. She says her mom hates music, she has hated it her
entire life. Whitney says she doesnt want her mom there or anywhere
near her.

At the cottage, Luis and Antonio get into a fight over Sheridan.
Sheridan begs them to stop this, but they continue to throw punches.
Sheridan tells Antonio that Pilar is in trouble, Rebecca is taking away
her home. Antonio finally stops and listens to what Sheridan has to say
about Pilars situation. She explains why Luis came here, and why she
went to the bank to get money. Sheridan says her father froze her
accounts and said he did it to protect her because she wasnt in her
right mind. Antonio tells Luis that hes sorry, he didn't know. Luis
says he knows, and he only came here for the money. He says he didnt
want to, but he didnt have anywhere else to turn. Sheridan tells
Antonio and Luis they all have to work together to find a way to help
Pilar keep her house. Antonio and Luis begin cleaning up the house, and
Luis explains everything to Antonio. Unfortunately the peace doesn't
last long. Eventually when Luis starts talking about Sheridan, Antonio
gets angry. He tells Luis that Sheridan loves him, she picked him, and
he is tired of listening to him ramble on about Sheridan. He orders Luis
to get out of his house. Luis refuses. Antonio thinks Luis came here to
get Sheridans sympathy and probably tired of Luis spouting that story
about Alistair brainwashing Sheridan. Antonio says he thinks everything
revolves around him. Luis says no, he thinks everything revolves around
Sheridan, and he loves her and thinks she should be with someone she
loves. Sheridan says she is. She tells Luis that she loves Antonio and
he is the man she wants to be married to. Sheridan says she wants to be
with Antonio, but Luis says he knows she loves him. Sheridan says no,
she loves Antonio. She asks Luis to please leave, which he does.
However, outside, Luis says hell never accept that Sheridan loves
Antonio and not him. He watches as Antonio tells Sheridan that he will
protect her, and he hugs Sheridan. Luis asks God why he is doing this to
him? He says after everything he and Sheridan have been through, why did
he take her away? He says they deserve to be together! He demands God
give him an answer, why is he doing this to him and his family?

Theresa and Fox arrive at the Lopez-Fitzgerald and find Pilar packing
up their belongings. Theresa blames herself for this, she should have
had Julian sign something saying she could keep the home. Pilar says
this is not Julians doing, it is Rebeccas. Theresa says this
isnt fair, why does Rebecca have to punish them? Pilar says by making
her family suffer, she is punishing her. Fox says she did a good thing
rebuilding this home, but Theresa says no good deed ever goes
unpunished. Pilar finds a picture of them when they moved back into
their home. She says she thought shed be here forever, but that
wont happen now.

Thursday

MArch 4 2004At the mansion, Ethan and Gwen continue to discuss adopting a child, and
they settle on adopting a little boy because Gwen says that is what she wants.
Ethan promises her that he will find her a little boy, no matter how difficult
it may be. A spying Rebecca says it wont be that difficult at all. Rebecca
then walks in and begins complaining about how the nanny keeps asking her
questions about Little Ethan, like would she like to read him a story. She says
that nanny isnt competent, she cant make choices, so she has decided to
fire the nanny. Ethan says Little Ethan has become attached to the nanny, and
firing her would be cruel. Gwen tells her mom Ethan is right, taking his nanny
away would be cruel. Rebecca says that woman is just getting on her nerves.
Ethan tells Rebecca that Little Ethan needs someone constant in his life,
someone who cares. He says Julian isnt there for him, and neither is she.
Rebecca says she is the step mother, she has custody, so she makes the
decisions. Rebecca says the nanny goes, and that is final! Ethan begs her not to
do this, but she has made up her mind. Ethan says hes going to get ready for
the benefit, and he asks Gwen to talk to her mother. Gwen doesnt like what
she is doing to Ethan, but Rebecca says it is all a part of her plan. Gwen asks
her what this plan of hers is again? Rebecca explains how if Ethan thinks she is
mistreating Ethan, he will be more receptive to adopting him. However, Gwen says
Ethan could think Little Ethan would be better off with Theresa. Rebecca says
that wont happen, Ethan will soon realize Little Ethan is better off without
her. Gwen admits sometimes she thinks what they are doing is wrong. Rebecca says
next time she thinks that, she should remember Sarah and all the babies she will
never have because of Theresa. Rebecca says Theresa will get what she deserves,
and then some! Gwen goes upstairs to see Little Ethan, and she reads him a book
about a boat. She says in a few months when it warms up maybe she and Ethan can
take him on the Crane boat. Little Ethan seems to like that idea. Rebecca spies
on them together and thinks Gwen is getting closer to making Theresas son her
own. Ethan and Gwen get ready to go to the benefit, and Gwen tells Ethan how
sweet Little Ethan is, and how it breaks her heart to see her mom being so cruel
to him. Ethan says Little Ethan is lucky to have her looking after him. She says
the same about him. Ethan rants about how Rebecca and Julian are going to make
terrible parents for Little Ethan.

At the cottage, Sheridan is in pain because she couldnt help Antonios
family, and because Antonio is becoming estranged from his family. She says now
is a time they should be banding together. Antonio tells Sheridan that it
isnt her fault that she couldnt give Luis money, and Luis has to accept
that she is married to him now. Sheridan says she shouldnt have left Luis
here when she went to the bank, the memories of this place must have affected
him. Antonio asks Sheridan what about her memories? Sheridan says she does have
many wonderful memories of Luis and the times they spent here. Antonio tells
Sheridan that he loves her and wants her to be happy, so he doesnt want her
to be with him if her heart is with Luis. Antonio says he just wants her to be
happy. He asks her if she regrets choosing him? Sheridan assures Antonio that he
is the man she loves, and Luis is in her past. She says this is their home now,
and they should make their own memories here. They begin to dance, and a song
comes on the radio, and it reminds her of Luis. Sheridan buries her head into
Antonio's shoulder. Antonio can tell Sheridan is terribly upset, and he asks her
to talk to him. Sheridan tells Antonio that right now she is so happy, and she
is afraid if she looks at Antonio she might see Luis face and not his. She
says Luis is convinced he is still in her heart and it will only be a matter of
time before she remembers him. Antonio asks her to look at him, and she does. He
asks who she sees? She says she sees him, and she is pleased. Antonio is as
well, and he suggests they go out and look at the stars.

Down on the pier, Luis wonders what else can happen to his family today.
Alistair says good evening to Luis, and asks if its been a bad day. Luis
attacks Alistair and says hes already taken Sheridan away from him, he
wont let him take his familys home! Luis says hell kill him first!
Alistair says he is a brave police officer for attacking a man twice his age, or
perhaps he should say a former police officer. Luis tells him not to play that
game with him, he knows what hes up to. Luis wonders what games he is playing
with his family. Alistair says he doesnt care about his family, but Luis says
he wouldnt waste time on his family if they didnt pose a threat to him.
Luis asks Alistair why he is so afraid of him? Luis thinks Alistair is desperate
to get rid of him just like he got rid of his father. Luis begins to wonder what
his father knew about the Cranes. Alistair says Martin was a bug who skipped out
on his wife and children. Alistair tells Luis that he can blame him for his
fathers weakness and cowardness if he wants to, but Luis doesnt believe
that his father was a coward. Luis says he blames him for his father leaving, he
did something to his father just like he did to Sheridan. Alistair says perhaps
the person to blame is him, and perhaps Luis just isnt as good in bed as
Antonio is! Luis knows Alistair did something to Sheridan. Luis says one day
Sheridan will remember him, and then they will be together. He also tells
Alistair that he will never bring his family down, and they will fight him and
win. After Luis walks off, Alistair makes a call to someone to meet him at the
wharf. Ackland shows up, and Alistair is worried that Sheridan could remember
her love for Luis. Alistair says he needs to be certain Sheridan will not
remember her love for Luis. Ackland says until he can finish the process, he
cant give him guarantees. Ackland asks if Sheridan can be put back in the
hospital? Alistair says not without raising suspicion. Ackland says then he
cant guarantee Sheridan wont remember.

Later, Sheridan and Antonio run into Alistair on the pier. Sheridan once again
lays into Alistair for what he has done to her and to the Lopez-Fitzgeralds.
Alistair says he is trying to protect her from men who are only after her money.
Sheridan says he doesnt care about her, this is about something else.
Sheridan says Luis is right, and she knows what he has done! She says he is
trying to destroy Luiss life and his familys, and she wont let him win.
Sheridan storms off, and Alistair tries to convince Antonio not to let Luis win.
Anotonio says he isnt going to listen to him, and he knows Sheridan loves
him. Antonio walks off and Alistair fears Luis will never give up, and
eventually, those two brothers will have a bitter battle to the end.

At the Lopez-Fitzgerald house, Fox continues to comfort Theresa. Theresa sees
how down her mother is, and she goes to her mom and tries to convince her that
there is still hope. Theresa says perhaps Luis will convince Sheridan to help
them. Pilar, however, has given up hope! She says they must accept what is
happening, they have no other choice. Pilar tells Theresa that they must stop
pretending everything is all right when it isnt. Theresa says she has learned
the hard way things always dont go the way you want, but they still have one
another and the Cranes cant take that from them. She says they have to
believe that everything will be all right. Still, Pilar doesnt know where
they will end up. Theresa says they will end up together, the Lopez-Fitzgeralds
always end up together. She says they have to keep hope. Luis walks in, and
Theresa asks if Sheridan gave him the money? Luis says hes sorry, he
doesnt have the money. Luis explains how Alistair froze Sheridans accounts
so she cant help them. Pilar says they should continue to pack because the
Cranes will want them out in the morning. Luis thinks the Cranes will probably
want them out tonight. Pilar thanks Luis for trying because she knows it
wasnt easy for him to ask Sheridan for help.. She sees bruises on Luis face
and asks who did this to him. She asks if Alistair's goons did this? Luis says
no, and he doesnt say who did it, but Pilar knows who it was. Pilar doesnt
know what is happening to them. She says they have lost their jobs and now they
are going to lose their home. She says Miguel has lost Charity, Theresa has lost
her baby, Antonio thinks his family has turned on him, and Luis has lost his
love to his own brother. Pilar wonders how much more they can take? Pilar says
she feels helpless right now, like the whole world is crashing down on them and
she can do nothing. Luis and Theresa try and give her hope, but Fox feels there
may be nothing they can do against his family.

Friday

March 5, 2004Building off of NBC's summary because of my long day, plus my local NBC
was having sound issues during the show!

At the B&B, David tells Grace that he doesn't want to pressure her, but
he needs to know if she will go to Italy with him. She says yes, and he is
thrilled. He says he'll order them tickets right away. Grace quickly backs out,
claiming Jessica is graduating soon and she'll need her help planning the party.
David tells Grace that Jessica isn't going to want her help, and that perhaps in
time they will

At the Bennett's, Sam comes home from a hard day at work. He is upset because
he had to spend Luis. Ivy fears this is Alistair's doing. Sam thinks Alistair
probably had something to do wit hit. He says at one time he thought the Cranes
may have brought David to Harmony to pose as Grace's husband, but he knows that
is not true. Sam goes upstairs to get ready for the benefit, and Ivy worries Sam
could one day find out she was the one who brought David to Harmony.

Upstairs, Jessica once again asks Charity how she could steal Reese from her,
he was her first love. Charity tells Jessica that she should be thanking her
because first loves don't last, and lust is much easier than love. Charity tells
Jessica that she should get dressed for tonight, find a guy, and have some fun.
Charity says that is what she plans on doing.

At the Lopez-Fitzgerald house, the Lopez-Fitzgeralds are all down in the
dumps. Kay and Miguel show up upon getting Pilar's message that Luis was unable
to get money from Sheridan. Kay tells them not to worry about her or Maria, she
got a job at the cannery and is also going to help support Miguel. Fox attempts
to lift the family's spirits and invites them to go to the benefit. They all say
no, but Fox convinces them taking their minds off their troubles for a few hours
might be just what they need. They agree to go, and Pilar makes Luis to promise
not to think about Sheridan tonight.

At the cottage, Antonio suggests he and Sheridan go out for a night on the
town, and he tells her there is a hospital benefit at the Blue Note. Sheridan
doesn't feel like going out, but Antonio convinces her to go in order to take
her mind off of Luis.

At the Blue Note, TC shows up and Liz tells him that it is a shame Eve has
not come. TC says at least WHitney will have one parent supporting her. Eve
shows up and she says Whitney will have both parents to support her. Later, Eve
threatens Liz. She tells her if she hurts Whitney than she will be one dead
